When do you have to have the dash bar (the one that runs under the dash from driver side to passenger side).
thanks, Brandon

I don't think that is the case-I think your cage is only good to 8.50 this year-even though your sticker says 7.50. Pretty sure Madman is right here-25.5 cert. required past 8.50.

My pink receipt that the NHRA inspector gave me says 7.50 on it.

A little off topic, but the new Z06 has a dash bar. Does the stock unit meet the cert specs, or does a new one still have to be installed/connected to the cage?

MADMAN, where can you get the SFI book from? and could you PM me a price on your 10pt cage with dash bar and rocker bars. i want be legal to ATLEAST 8.50s but safer is always better. i would probably go ahead and bring it to your shop for the install so it could get cert'ed there. thanks for any info.

They may be grandfathered in but remember with a cage that was stickered last year to 7.50(if not 25.5), you cannot legally exceed 180mph even if you are above 7.50. IF you exceed 180mph between 7.50 and 8.49 then you must be 25.5.
You can purchase the SFI spec directly from SFI. Do a search on google for SFI Foundation. The Specs are $35.00 for the 25.5.
